Based on book by Harold S. Kushner.

For the first time on home video, Dr. Harold S. Kushner powerfully presents the thinking and faith behind his internationally best-selling book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People, a source of comfort and insight for anyone confronted by tragedy and suffering. Kushner speaks from his own painful experience, the loss of his young son, Aaron, to a rare illness. He recounts his own realization that the traditional words of consolation we so often speak - words that Kushner so often spoke to others - are far from adequate. His search for a better response leads to the Book of Job and that most profound question of faith: If God is all powerful and all good, why do good people suffer? Kushner's answer is as practical as it is theological. It provides a reaffirmation of a belief in God, and offers compassionate direction for those in pain. - on back of video jacket.
